NTI Mini Server Environment Monitoring System

The NTI ENIVROMUX-MINI-LXO is a Mini Server Environment Monitoring System.

The ENVIROMUX Mini Server Environment Monitoring System monitors critical environmental conditions (such as temperature, humidity, and water leakage) that could destroy network components in your server room. When a sensor goes out of range of a configurable threshold, the system will notify you via email, SNMP traps, web-page alerts, a visual indicator (red LED), voice phone calls (via Automatic Voice Dialer System), and SMS messages (via USB 3G modem).
